- This postcard contains four photographs of coca leaves growing in nature and being processed. The top left image is of coca leaves in the foreground and a mountain road with two vehicles in the background. In the top right photograph two people are placing coca leaves in a net on the ground to dry. The bottom left photograph is of a woman seated on the ground with a large red bag of coca leaves in front of her. She is wearing a blue skirt, white blouse, tan sweater and the traditional Bolivian bowler hat. Next to her is another woman and child who are watching her. The final photograph, on the bottom right of the card, shows the hands of two people holding and possibly picking coca leaves.
